The coach for a basketball team wants to buy new shoes for her 12 players.

Super Sports is offering a 20% discount on each pair of shoes, which were originally priced $72.50. A 6.5% sales tax will be applied to the discounted price.

The same shoes are also available on Double Dribble’s website for $54.75. A 9% processing fee will be applied to the cost of the shoes, plus a shipping fee of $5.99 for each pair.

What is the difference in the total cost of the 12 pairs of shoes between the two stores?

First, we need to determine what the final price is for each pair in these two stores. In Super Sports, the shoes were originally $72.50, but they had a 20% discount. This means that you would pay for 80% (0.8) of the price:

72.50 * 0.8 = 58

A 6.5% sales tax will be applied to the discounted price. This means you would pay for 106.5% of the price:

58 * 1.065 = 61.77

On the other hand, at Double Dribble, the shoes are originally $54.75. A 9% processing fee is applied to this:

54.75 * 1.09 = 59.67

plus a shipping fee of $5.99:

59.67 + 5.99 = 65.67

If we were to buy 12 pairs of shoes, the prices would be:

Store A: 61.77 * 12 = 741.24

Store B: 65.67 * 12 = 788.01

The difference would be $46.77 (788.01 - 741.24).
